Josh,

If you have broadband internet service, and an Ethernet broadband modem, your
best choice for security, simplicity, and supportability, is to get a NAT router
to connect to the broadband modem and share the service.

If you have broadband service, and a USB modem, replace it with an Ethernet
modem, and get a NAT router.

Using a NAT router to connect the computers will give you the best overall
performance, and allow each computer to perform independently of the others.

Here are a few websites with useful tutorials on networking and sharing internet
service:
